A Beary Merry Christmas

 I'm back today with another cute Christmas Friends card to share!

This time I'm featuring the pudgy polar bear which I paired up with a super cute pattern of paper from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper.

I am loving the Pumpkin Pie and Petal Pink color combo and love it even more with just a touch of Soft Sea Foam added to the mix.

One of the gift box dies in the Christmas Friends Dies fits the Have a Beary Merry Christmas sentiment perfectly.  I love it when that happens!

Inspiration for today's sketch comes from the latest Global Design Project Sketch Challenge. I'm always down for a great sketch to play along with!

Still a few more critters to play with in the Christmas Friends stamp set.  What will the next one be? Stay tuned!

Happy Stamping!

Merry Christmoose

 Happy Monday friends!  Today I'm sharing one of the cutest critters from the new Christmas Friends stamp set...an ice skating moose!  I may have bought this stamp set just for the moose!

Isn't he the cutest?!?  I stamped this jolly guy in Memento and colored him Pecan Pie.  His sweet little nose and antlers were colored with Crumb Cake and I used Real Red and Granny Apple Green for his cozy scarf and socks.  And I can't forget the Pebbled Path hooves.

This great circle die comes with the coordinating Christmas Friends Dies, which was perfect to complete the sketch for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  Take a Bow Designer Series Paper is my holiday Mini Catalog favorite...I love the Bright and Regal traditional Christmas colors!

I hope you all have a fabulous week!

Happy Stamping!

Make a Wish

It's Friday and we all know what that means...time for an all newTGIF Challenges Color Challenge.  I am loving this Berry Burst, Night of Navy and Crumb Cake color combo!

I kept things super simple with this card, but may have gotten a little carried away with the Metallic Gems. You can never have too much bling, right?

I used the stamps from the August 2024 Time for Cake Paper Pumpkin.  I love these candles and the sparkly tops!

Short and sweet today!  I hope you all have a great weekend and have some stamping time mixed in with all of your other plans.

Happy Stamping! 

Colorful Caring Leaves

I'm back today with another fall inspired card to play along with the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge.

I added a little brightness with my favorite SU color, Coastal Cabana. I stamped the Sketched Plaid background, tone on tone, and distressed the edges a little.  The Caring Leaves are stamped in Crushed Curry, Boho Blue and Coastal Cabana.  Each leaf was fussy cut and popped up to add a little dimension.  The cute little sentiment comes from the More Than Autumn stamp set.  

Be sure to join in the fun and play along with us at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week!

Happy Stamping!

Happy September

 

Happy September stampers and welcome to the latest Monday Montage Blog Hop!

We may have had a run of summer temps this weekend, but as we said goodbye to August and hello to September, I am in full-on fall mode now!  I decorated my house for fall, bought some candy corn and made my favorite pumpkin cookies, which our black lab decided to taste test...naughty doggie!

Inspired by the latest Freshly Made Sketches design and from a fabulous card created by Susan Wong, I pulled together some warm fall colors for this birthday card.

I stared with the gorgeous Misty Moonlight pattern Wildly Flowering DSP, adding just a strip of Misty Moonlight along the edge. Next I added a Nested Essentials shape from the Crumb Cake pattern...I love this paper!

I stamped the large leaves from Changing Leaves in Wild Wheat and added a simple sentiment from Country Birdhouse. A little nest of white Baker's Twine and a few Wild Wheat In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots finished things off. 

Let's hop along to see what my friend Charlet has to share this week!

Happy Stamping!
